arge-Format Press Sets New Standards in Aircraft Wing Component Manufacturing
ONE-PIECE PRODUCTION OF LARGE-SCALE COMPONENTS

With an impressive clamping area of 10,500 mm × 3,500 mm, Langzauner’s press allows for the manufacturing of large-scale aerospace components without intermediate steps or segmentation. This cutting-edge production line sets new standards for efficient structural part fabrication in the aerospace industry.

HYDRAULIC SYSTEM ENSURES UNPARALLELED POSITIONING ACCURACY

At the heart of the Langzauner system lies a sophisticated hydraulic control system that delivers positioning accuracy within hundredths of a millimeter. A standout technical feature: the press ram can be actively tilted into any freely definable angular position – ideal for producing complex geometries found in today’s advanced wing designs. An automated clamping system ensures exceptional repeatable positioning of mold halves, setting a new benchmark for precision.


FULLY AUTOMATED PRODUCTION LINE – FEATURING LANGZAUNER

Funded by the Aerospace Technology Institute and Innovate UK, the Langzauner press is integrated into a fully automated production line, specifically developed to meet the needs of our manufacturing R&D client. This is a strategic step toward Industry 4.0 and toward cost-efficient, high-precision manufacturing in Europe.

With a total system mass approaching 500,000 kg (1.1 million lbs), the Langzauner solution is not only a technical heavyweight, but also a symbol of progress in large-scale precision part manufacturing. It opens new possibilities for the cost-effective serial production of large structural components – and thus for the next generation of high-efficiency aircraft.
